The only theme connection I can come up with in my photo related to Alan's for this week, is the striking appearance of the outfits in this photo.
The gentleman in his appears to be well dressed.
Wish I could see his shoes.
Shoes fascinate me.

Old School
Graduation class at St. Dominic School
1938-1939
Third and fourth boys from the left on the back row are two of my mom's younger brothers.
This photo was taken in front of one of the church's doors and below is an actual photo of the school taken about 1940.
The dress of the students impresses me.
When I attended we wore white blouses and navy blue skirts.
This is the same elementary school that I graduated from.
When I figured the ages of the two boys it seems the 3rd, Charles Thomas Edelen, called C.T. was 19 and the 4th George Leonard Edelen Jr., called George, was 17.
George is still living today but suffering from alzheimer's.
I knew most of the folks in this photo but do not know if any of the others are still living.
My grandparents were farmers and I am sure the time in school did not run exactly like it does now.
Except for the fence, the school looks exactly the same today as then.
Although we lived in this same town for about six years and some of our children were born there, none of them attended this school as we moved to another part of the county in 1967.
They attended a parochial school in that area of the county.
